A client asks the nurse why his dose of an antihypertensive medication is different from his neighbo

A client asks the nurse why his dose of an antihypertensive medication is different from his neighbor's dose, stating, "We both take the exact same drug, but I take 60 mg and he takes only 25 mg." Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?
1. "If your neighbor is a lot younger than you, his dose might be a lot lower."
2. "Individuals often have widely different responses to the same medications and need different doses of the same medication."
3. "If your neighbor takes a lot of other medications, he might need to take a lower dose of the medication than you."
4. "If you are taking a generic brand of the medication, you will need a higher dose than you would of a brand name of the same medication."
